This paper asks whether Active Networks might offer potential solutions to scalability issues for large scale Distributed Virtual Environments. The paper considers current directions in the architecture of DVE systems and recent work in Active Network research and suggests potentially beneficial synergies between the two fields. This project is the proposed PhD research of the first author (TB).
This paper focuses on the firm real-time requirements of Time-Critical Wide Area Measurement and Control systems, that are expected to play a major role in future Smart Grids. It analyses the operation of these systems and identifies their communication traffic characteristics. It shows that these characteristics are significantly different to those of the current near real-time Wide Area Measurement applications that provide visualization to support manual grid control. It then discusses the performance evaluation of these time critical systems and presents the second stage in an ongoing body of work aimed at developing models and techniques to carry out the performance evaluation process. It presents some preliminary results and outlines the direction for future work.
This paper focuses on the firm real-time requirements of Time-Critical Wide Area Measurement and Control systems for future Smart Grids. It outlines the findings from the first stage in an ongoing body of work aimed at developing models and techniques that will enable the performance evaluation of these systems to take place prior to their implementation. It then discusses the first phase in the second stage of this project that addresses the problem of evaluation in cases where the output from system's devices is variable. It then presents some preliminary findings and outlines the direction for future work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
